Growl-style notifications. (issue 6851058)

 

Reviewers: mp+134660_code.launchpad.net,

Message:
Please take a look.

Description:
Growl-style notifications.

This branch introduces growl-style notifications
in the top-right corner of the window.
Implemented a notifier widget: it is a reusable
piece of code that just need a title, a message
and a timeout to display a notification. It is used
to render notification outside view containers, so
that notifications are preserved when the user changes
the current view.

A notifier is created when a notification is added,
following these rules:
- the notification is an error;
- the notification is local (it's not related to the
   delta stream).

The last point involves adding a new field "isDelta"
to the notification model, defaulting to false.
Notifications created when the delta stream arrives are
marked as "isDelta: true".

UI: new notifications appear on top, and disappear after
8 seconds. Mouse over prevents a notification to hide,
mouse click destroys a notification.

Also fixed a bug in the unit view: a callable was undefined
when trying to "retry" or "resolve" a unit.

This branch is intended to be a first implementation proposal
of the growl notifications. It doesn't solve open issues like:
- how to handle/aggregate multiple notifications;
- how to correctly generate and format titles and messages;
- where notifications should appear in the window.
